John Land is the mayor of a growing city. He's a civic CEO, using the latest technology to manage city business. He's also about to turn 89 and is the second-longest serving mayor in U.S. history. He's traveled a long way but is just a few feet from where it all began.

Editor's Note: In December 2009, Land announced his plans to run for a 19th term as mayor of Apopka, Florida. If he wins the election, he will be 93 years old at the end of his term. Land tells the media that he has checked with his doctors, who have deemed him healthy to run and serve.

Mayor John Land is a National Treasure here in Apopka Florida, I have never found anyone who didn't love John, his service as a local goverment employee goes way beyond the call of duty, he puts in more than 100% and then some. John puts God first, family, friends and his love for his job. You could not ask for any more than that. His leadership is excellent, hopefully he be here another 57 years. John is just like part of my family, my late mother in law Francis Williams and John grew up together here in Apopka, she was part of the Hudson family that go back many, many years. Keep John Land and his family in your prayers, God Bless John!

John you speak of having a willingness to change, how about for the sake of lives and property and to save $$$'s you sign a first response agreement with the surrounding fire departments and stop your 'turf war',
